Tutorial for DMC using MCSCF trial wfn

Hi Everyone,

My student Andrew Powell has been running DMC calculations using multiconfigurational trial wavefunctions from GAMESS.
There were some difficulties along the way (things like errors in coefficient phases etc), but he has had it working well for some time now.
(thanks to some help from Albert DeFusco and Mike)

Andy wrote out a step-by-step tutorial for members of my group including example files.

It can be downloaded from:

We welcome most comments or suggestions.

I have done some calculation with Casino using the multiconfigurational trial wavefunction extrated from GAMESS according to your tutorial. I was able to successfully calculate the energy of C2 in the singlet state. However, for the triplet case the CASINO does not run. Can you help me with this?
